An ABC-TV show that helps families by rebuilding their homes has chosen an Altamonte Springs family for a next-season makeover of their hurricane-damaged home and operations center.
Sadie Holmes, a single mother of five children who range in age from 9 to 16, runs Sadie Holmes Help Service Inc., a nonprofit service that collects clothing, food and furniture for needy people in south Seminole County.
Mercedes Homes will coordinate activities of the show's construction crew and volunteers. Mercedes, an employee-owned, family-managed home builder based in Melbourne, is a top 20 national builder.
The new home will be constructed in one week beginning at noon on Feb. 19.
"Extreme Makeover Home Edition's" producers visited the Holmes family Feb. 17 and escorted them to the show's "Makeover Mansion" in Hollywood while the work is in progress.
